A review by ifyouhappentoremember
An Extraordinary Union by Alyssa Cole
3.0
I found this to be an uneven reading experience for me.
One of the tropes was ‘insta-lust’ which for me, put a damper on the chemistry between the main couple. I personally prefer a slow burn when I read a romance novel but that’s neither here nor there.
I also found the espionage element lacking. I felt that it took a backseat to the romance.
I feel that I went into this book with very high expectations and the book wasn’t what I wanted it to be. I did enjoy it, but ultimately did not fit what I thought of “historical romance + spies”.
